The complainant was able to provide a description of the vehicle and a partial license plate, and the vehicle was located by officers at Flora and Mission. When officers approached, the vehicle tried to leave but could not gain any traction. The driver was removed from the vehicle, was extremely lethargic and smelled of marijuana. The officer located a smoking device on the floorboard of the vehicle. After the investigation, the subject was taken into custody for DUI (drug impaired). The subject admitted to smoking marijuana earlier in the evening. The subject also told the officer he was using "spice." The officer located additional drugs in the vehicle. The subject was taken to Valley Hospital for a drug recognition evaluation and booked into Spokane County Jail on the drug possession charge. Additional charging requests are being forwarded to the prosecutor for the DUI, hit and run, minor in possession of alcohol and possession of drug paraphernalia.
